Enclosure 1.

Minute by Mr. Nicolle.

C.O.

Copy.

Colonial Secretary,

£151.

£75.

I have not got any information as to how the One hundred and fifty one pounds drawn from the Crown Agents is made up, but I imagine it includes my half pay from 22nd January (the date of my appointment) to 5th March, which I drew from the Comptroller and Auditor General before I left London. I further received an advance of Seventy five pounds which I have to refund to the Colonial Treasury within six months of my arrival here. I suppose this sum of £75 is also included in the £151.

I estimate that the Staff of the Local Audit Office will cost this year $6252 made up as follows:

Local Auditor $3,528 Chief Clerk $2640 Messenger $84 $6252

This will leave a balance of $3748 out of the $10,000 voted for cost of Audit, and this balance should be more than sufficient to cover the payment to the Imperial Audit Office and the expense of Office Contingencies.

When the Secretary of State asked for a lump sum to be voted for the cost of Audit I do not think it was intended that all the officials of the existing Audit Staff should be paid out of it, but only such of them as might be required to
